Types of Pool Covers: Which One Is Right for You?

Not all pool covers are the same. Whether you’re looking to
keep leaves out, trap heat, or protect your family, there’s a pool cover made
for the job. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types:

Safety Pool Covers

Safety covers are strong, secure, and built to support
weight. They anchor into the deck and are made to prevent accidents, especially
if you have kids or pets around. These covers come in mesh or solid styles:

  • Mesh Safety Covers let rainwater drain through but still block leaves and debris.
  • Solid Safety Covers block everything, including sunlight, helping prevent algae growth.

Solar Pool Covers

Also called solar blankets, these lightweight covers float on the surface and help trap heat from the sun. They’re a great way to warm your water and reduce evaporation without using a heater. If you’re trying to save energy and extend swim season, solar covers are an easy win.

Thermal Pool Covers

These are insulated covers designed to retain heat overnight and reduce heat loss in cooler climates. They’re thicker than solar blankets and often used in commercial settings or with heated pools. A thermal cover can seriously cut down your heating bill.

Leaf Pool Covers

Leaf covers are a simple mesh layer stretched across the pool to catch falling leaves and large debris. They’re easy to remove and clean, and they work great if you’re dealing with trees around your pool. They’re not designed for safety, but they’ll save you a lot of skimming and vacuuming.

Winter Pool Covers

Designed to protect your pool during the off-season, winter covers help block out debris, algae-promoting sunlight, and extreme weather. They usually secure with water bags or weights and are a solid choice for long-term coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Covers

Yes. A pool cover helps keep out leaves, bugs, dirt, and sunlight, which means less cleaning and fewer chemicals. It also cuts down on water evaporation and helps retain heat. If you’re not covering your pool, you’re basically inviting debris and wasting energy.

Solid covers block everything like sunlight, rain, and debris, and do the best job at preventing algae. Mesh covers let rainwater through but still keep out leaves and other debris. They’re lighter and easier to handle. Both work, but solid covers give you the most protection.

Yes. We offer custom pool covers tailored to your exact dimensions. Whether your pool is a basic rectangle or has a unique shape, we’ve got you. Just contact us for a free consultation and quote. If you already have an old cover you like the fit of, you can even send it to us and we’ll measure it for you. We also accept pool cover templates.

Use a tape measure to get the full length and width at the longest and widest points. For irregular shapes, measure it as if it fits into a rectangle that fully covers the pool. If you want help or would rather send a template or your current cover, we’re happy to assist. Contact us to get started.

Most people cover their pool when they stop using it for the season, usually in the fall. But if you want to keep it cleaner and reduce chemical use, it’s smart to use a cover anytime your pool isn’t being used regularly.

Some will. Solar pool covers are designed to trap heat from the sun and keep your water warm. Standard covers help mainly by preventing evaporation and blocking cool air, but solar covers are better if heating is your priority.

With good care, most covers last 5 to 10 years. Rinse it off, let it dry before storing, and don’t drag it across rough surfaces. A little effort goes a long way in keeping it in good shape.

Only if it’s a safety-rated cover designed to support weight. Even then, only in emergencies. Standard pool covers are not made to support people or pets, so always play it safe.

Not a problem. We handle custom covers all the time. Send us your measurements, a simple diagram, or even your existing cover or a cardboard template, and we’ll handle the rest. Reach out to us for a free quote and we’ll help make sure you get a perfect fit.
